By introducing the second organic N-heterocyclic ligands 2,2'-bipyridine (2,2'-bipy)/1,10-phenanthroline (phen), two mono-/bi-nuclear examples of Cu(II)-diphosphonate coordination polymers based on 1-hydroxyethylidenediphosphonic acid (H5L=CH3C(OH)(PO3H2)2), [Cu(H4L)2(2,2'-bipy)]·H2O 1 and [Cu(H3L)(phen)]2·(HOCH2CH2OH)0.52, have been solvothermally obtained and characterized by powder X-ray dif...

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound (phen)Pb(02CMe) is described. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 /c, a = 7.823(3), b = 12.421(4), c = 9.262(2) ?, ? = 79.92(3)", Z = 4, yielding R 0.048 for 3210 independent reflections. The coordination number around the lead atom is six. [Pb-N 2.54(2), 2.56(4)],[Pb-0, 2.19-2.22]

Three quinary polar intermetallic compounds in the (Eu(1-x)Ca(x))9In8(Ge(1-y)Sn(y))8 (x = 0.66, y = 0.03) and the (Eu(1-x)Ca(x))3In(Ge(3-y)Sn(1+y)) (x = 0.66, 0.68; y = 0.13, 0.27) phases have been synthesized using the molten In-metal flux method, and the crystal structures are characterized by powder and single-crystal X-ray diffractions. Two orthorhombic structural types can be viewed as an ...

Through the complementary use of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy, we present in this paper the first direct results on the site occupancy of thorium in the fluorapatite structure and the structural distortion created by its substitution. Structure refinements based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction data from synthetic Th-doped fluorapatite indicates that Th ...

A novel complex of cadmium (II) [CdL0.5(NO3)(H2O)](1), L= N,N-bis (O-hydroxyacetophenone) ethylene diamine, have been synthesized as single crystal and nano size. Compound 1 in nano size was obtained under sonochemical irradiation and has been characterized by IR, 1HNMR spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanni...
